Gerrard desperate for Dalglish stay

Steven Gerrard says he is determined to ensure Liverpool's form improves so Kenny Dalglish is handed the manager's job on a permanent basis at the end of the season.

Dalglish, appointed as a short-term replacement for Roy Hodgson, has started his second reign in charge of Liverpool with an FA Cup defeat to Manchester United, a league loss at Blackpool and a draw in the Merseyside derby against Everton at the weekend.
